Uno/Effort/Migrate Documentation

2008-01-21T10:15:18Z

Utcursch: spell

Type: [[Uno/Term/Effort|effort]] Owner: [[KR|Kay Ramme]] Status: 15%

Lots of the [[Uno]] documentation are still located on the http://udk.openoffice.org website. As the [[Uno|Uno Wiki]] should be the location for Uno documentation, the documentation needs to move.

==Problem==
The Uno documentation on http://udk.openoffice.org is accessible by CVS only. Parts of the documentation are outdated or incorrect. No common style has been applied.

==Goal==
The goal is to move all documentation from http://udk.openoffice.org into the wiki and to provide it to be easy accessible, understandable and consistent.

The documentation on http://udk.openoffice.org
* needs to be reviewed and classified,
* needs to be migrated if still suitable, either directly, if consistent with the Uno wiki structure, or may needs to be split (e.g. to [[Uno/Binary|binary Uno]] and [[Uno/Java|Java Uno]]),
* needs to be linkified,
* while the entries in the CVS need to be deleted after migration.

==Time Plan==
Open.

Target Milestone

2008-01-21T10:12:34Z

Utcursch: /* Setting a TargetMilestone */ spell

== List of Target Milestones==

http://development.openoffice.org/releases/Target_Milestone.html

=== Setting a [[TargetMilestone]]===

* A target milestone should only be set, if you are sure you have the resources available to fix an issue for the targeted release. For individuals this means that you also have to reassign the issue to yourself to indicate which person gave the commitment for fixing (this may be slightly different for larger teams, such as [[CWS|child workspace]] teams or Sun's development team, where one person reassigns issues to other team members)

* If somebody is not sure about how to get patches reviewed or integrated this should be raised on the dev@openoffice.org list. There everybody should get assistance to get the correct target milestone and owner set.

=== Todo ===

<div align="left" style="color:blue; font-size:18px">'''List in construction. You can help us complete it and improve on it '''</div>

( Brainstorming in progress )

* Revamp http://education.openoffice.org
* Make the page static
* Organize the wiki page
* Create new entries : locales ? / tools ? / Success stories ? / Partners ?

* Resources : ask an entry for every school present on the site ? (annually ?)

* QA : define default owner for education project issues

* Be present and visible (please complete the list) :

* PCIE/EDCL : http://www.pcie.tm.fr/

* '''Recent Issues'''
<div align="left" style="color:red; font-size:18px">'''Urgent'''</div>

1) Installation / Usability

* OpenOffice.org installation , mainly under Microsoft Windows, is problematic ( unique registration, ...etc)
* Installation in a rightless environment

2) Compatibility

Again, with MS Office
(examples, precise case, writing of a guide avoiding issues, find the most known of them .. )

3) Maths

* formulas alignments

This is an incredibly well known and important default. Some migrations failed just because of this "detail".

See the sadly well known issue 972 , and referenced in IssueZilla since may 2001 (yes 2001 !)
URL : http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=972

4) Unclassified

* '''Suggestions of amelioration'''

Maxima

Use Maxima in OpenOffice.org ?

Partial answer : as soon as I'll have the answer to "how interface" OpenOffice.org and Application written in Lisp ( Maxima is written in Lisp ), I promise I'll take the task over.

Update: I got some infos from Eike Rathke and Kendy. Playing with fork() exec() wait() .. stay tuned.

[[User:Ericb|Ericb]] 12:07, 25 December 2007 (CET)

* '''Success stories'''

Any positive success story of installation and /or use in your school, interests us.

Initiation to OpenOffice.org use

'''Be extremely careful is recommended, only the French Eductional system is described below'''

Which formations could concern OpenOffice.org ?

- type de formation : secondary, profesional formations ?
- concerned courses: Maths ? Physics ? ( Other ? )

URL of reference : http://info.sio2.be/calcooo/index.php ( French, sorry )

Plan (translated from French ):
<pre>
1. Introduction to a Spreadsheet use with OpenOffice.org (mise à jour 07/01/2006)

2. Use of Calc functions (last update 17/01/2006)

3. The alternative with the Spreadsheet (last update 12/01/2006)

4. Create diagrams using OpenOffice.org Calc

5. Improved study of Mathematical diagrams ( last update 16/05/2006)

Share your opinion whith this course.
</pre>

For every part, it could be interesting to define :

The relevant concerned programs

- the plan of the lesson

- the prerequisites of the lesson

- the objectives, well justified in the referential of the program

- the estimated time for the lesson

* '''Pedagogical notes creation'''

Target: ''' create pedagogical notes for the existing tools, improving the role of OpenOffice.org''' :

Every teacher will certainly have a personal way, but to obtain something consistent, it will be to follow a common skeleton, everybody is invited to improve.

Example:

* The pedagogical frame of use: public / level

* prerequisites,

* the place in the progression,

* the time of the sequence..etc

* objectives,

* the place dans le referential of the program,

* limits .. (thanks to improve and complete the list)

* '''Mutualisation of documents''' : ADD A LICENSE FOR THE CONTENT

[http://eric.bachard.free.fr/Education/Resources/Education_template.sxw Example of downloadable document with licence]

* '''Suggestions for academical correspondents'''

<br>

- '''recent the schools using OpenOffice.org''' ( write a list on the Wiki ? )

- '''inform''' people managing / to be aware of the project existence '''and invite them to join us''' (Education Project, dev@education.openoffice.org list)

- '''keep the list of known issues up to date''' , and define a '''list of priorities''' : we need to concentrate our efforts to the correction of such issues !
- '''participate''', if possiblee, to events who can involve OpenOffice.org project in your academy'''
- '''recent''' such events
- '''recent existing tools and documents''', who bring a value added the pedagogical interest OpenOffice.org to be used ( next step : put them on the site, for download, but define precisely how do that "before" )
- '''be visible'''
